Memory...or Lack Thereof

I am using this photo because it is OLD like my MEMORY and I find it impossible to create a post without including a photo.

My Lapse in Memory This Week ....

Tuesday morning, I carefully remembered to take my Debit card to the YMCA because the plan was to stop in Walmart and pick up TWO
items that were on my list but did not come home with me on
Saturday.

I forgot to lock the KIA at the YMCA, leaving said Debit card
inside.

I put my towel in locker at YMCA and started to the pool holding the BAG
which should have been in the locker.

Left the YMCA and Right towards home, not Left towards WM and had to
turn around which caused us to be parked for 5 minutes behind a
handicap bus that was loading a wheel chair.

I Came home and left wet suit and towel on counter NOT hanging outside to dry.

my morning PLAN was CVS, Winn Dixie, Dollar General and 40 dollars worth
of gas in the Kia and visit Rich and find a bathing suit.... 1st, the plan to leave at 9 went awry until 10 when Bob came home from the park and I surfaced from the computer running an hour late. I did my list without my watch and rings since I left them on the bathroom counter .

Thursday am at 4, Bob comments... "coffee sure is weak today"
It seems I put water in the pot, set it on auto, put the filter in MINUS the coffee and we had a really nice pot of HOT WATER. I came home and had my cable bill in my email and went to pay on line and it was DOUBLE, seems I did not pay it last month.

I can not talk, my memory is not the best either. I am not sure if I would like weak coffee, lol. My cable bill is paid automatically on my charge card and then I pay off the monthyly chg card bill. It seems to be easier for me that way. Have a happy weekend!

You sound like me! Love the picture of the old cracker house. One of the old cracker houses that belonged to my extended family was recently moved to a historical park in Jacksonville Beach to be restored. I'm so glad it was saved!

Oh my goodness! I've made hot water in the coffee pot before, so you're not alone on that one. I'll pour milk in Don's juice glass instead of on his cereal, etc. I don't really function well in the mornings until I've had a least one cup of coffee.

After I read this, I called Phil into the room and read it to him. We both laughed. But seriously Sis, you have lifted a GREAT weight off my shoulders. I have been wondering if I have something like Alzheimer's. My memory is BAD. And then they found those white things in my brain. But now I see my memory is just normal for our age!! No more worry. Thanks a lot, now what is your bill...

Oh, I should tell you about my morning the other morn...not so many things, but the one I thought I had lost my billfold...I was just literally almost sick for a few minutes...then guess what? It was in my back pocket.

I used to always carry it in my back pockett, but for a while now I have been carrying it in my front pocket. I had just lapsed back into an old habit and stuck it in the back.

Oh, I have lots of days like this! BG and I together can't keep track of things. I couldn't find my glasses one day and eventually discovered that they were on top of my head! lol! I'm thinking that it isn't going to get any better...drats!

By the comments it looks like many of us have had similar days. I use my mobile(cell( phone to help me remember stuff. Bill says it is because our brain is full to the brim and we can't delete the junk.

I don't make coffee very often as I don't drink it, but I have done the same thing with tea lots of times. I.e. forgotten to actually put tea in the filter before pouring the water... I too think we tend to make these kinds of mistakes when we are doing routine things but our minds are occupied with other thoughts, or tired.
